Josh Pascarelli scores 24 to propel Marist to 82-75 victory over Manhattan
The circumstances around Swanson’s injury are unclear, namely when he sustained the hernia. The Cubs had been unaware he was playing through it, which Swanson revealed to the team after the season ended when he wanted to see a specialist and get it fixed in October. “We were surprised, candidly, which is fine,” president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Monday at the MLB winter meetings. “That’s his personality, he was going to play, but clearly he was feeling something he wanted to get fixed.” The Cubs’ middle infield tandem of Swanson and second baseman Nico Hoerner (right flexor tendon) are both coming off surgery, which has affected the start of their offseasons. Swanson, 30, takes pride in being in the lineup every day, at one point playing in every game in a three-year stretch (2020-22). There is always a balance for players trying to grind through an ailment, a tipping point when that choice hurts more than helps a team. That occurred with Swanson’s knee injury he sustained in late April, eventually going on the injured list one week into May when it became visually apparent with his on-field performance that he needed time off to heal. In Hoerner’s case, the Cubs understood he was playing with an injury for a majority of the season and wasn’t throwing as well as usual. This meant they couldn’t use him to fill in for Swanson at shortstop for more than one game at a time. “In (Nico’s) situation we knew, OK, at the end of the year, we’ll get this looked at but in Dansby’s case we weren’t aware,” Hoyer said. “He had a great second half, he played great defense, he was really good offensively. Yeah, it was unexpected.” Hoerner’s injury was more significant and leaves less wiggle room for being ready for the start of the season compared to Swanson, mitigating the level of concern of potentially being without their starting middle infielders to open the 2025 season. “I would say I’m grateful we have two guys who will go out there with things going on and still give really good efforts and still be productive players,” manager Craig Counsell said Monday. “I think every player goes into a season hoping this is the year I’m going to feel really, really good and not going to get bit by any of the injury stuff. I think in both cases they dealt with some stuff. It’s both things that they were able to stay on the field with. “But it affects you. I don’t have a prognosis that they’re going to be healthy 100% this year. I think both of them are going to go into camp knowing, ‘hey, I’m in a really good spot right now,’ and that’s always a good feeling.” Tauchman goes from North Side to South Side DALLAS — Mike Tauchman is going from the North Side to the South Side after agreeing to a major-league contract with the Chicago White Sox on Monday, a source confirmed to the Tribune. Tauchman slashed .248/.357/.366 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs in 109 games in 2024 for the Chicago Cubs. That included a walk-off home run leading off the ninth inning, giving the Cubs a 7-6 victory against the Sox on June 5 at Wrigley Field. The Cubs nontendered the Palatine native in November, making him a free agent. The 34-year-old has a .241/.344/.374 slash line with 60 doubles, 32 home runs and 155 RBIs in 474 career games during seven major-league seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2017-18), New York Yankees (2019-21), San Francisco Giants (2021) and Cubs (2023-24). He spent 2022 in the Korea Baseball Organization. MLB.com ’s Scott Merkin first reported Monday’s move. Terms of the deal are unknown. Tauchman is the second outfielder the Sox have signed to an MLB deal this offseason, joining Austin Slater — who agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract that was announced Nov. 20. The team’s starting outfield in 2024 featured Andrew Benintendi in left field, Luis Robert Jr. in center and Dominic Fletcher in right field. Robert has been mentioned in trade speculation. Slater, Zach DeLoach, Corey Julks and Oscar Colás are also currently on the 40-man roster. – LaMond Pope, Chicago TribuneEighteen member Presidential Task Force to implement “Clean Sri Lanka” Programme

Mean rolling returns: Rolled daily for the last three years. 2. Consistency in the last three years: Hurst Exponent, H is used for computing the consistency of a fund. The H exponent is a measure of randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds. The H exponent is a measure of randomness of NAV series of a fund. Funds with high H tend to exhibit low volatility compared to funds with low H. i) When H = 0.5, the series of returns is said to be a geometric Brownian time series. This type of time series is difficult to forecast. ii) When H is less than 0.5, the series is said to be mean reverting. iii) When H is greater than 0.5, the series is said to be persistent. The larger the value of H, the stronger is the trend of the series 3. Downside risk: We have considered only the negative returns given by the mutual fund scheme for this measure. X = Returns below zero Y = Sum of all squares of X Z = Y/number of days taken for computing the ratio Downside risk = Square root of Z 4. Outperformance: It is measured by Jensen's Alpha for the last three years. Jensen's Alpha shows the risk-adjusted return generated by a mutual fund scheme relative to the expected market return predicted by the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Higher Alpha indicates that the portfolio performance has outstripped the returns predicted by the market. Average returns generated by the MF Scheme = [Risk Free Rate + Beta of the MF Scheme * {(Average return of the index - Risk Free Rate} 5. Asset size: For Equity funds, the threshold asset size is Rs 50 crore (Disclaimer: past performance is no guarantee for future performance.)

Omnicom Group is in advanced negotiations to acquire direct U.S. rival Interpublic Group in a deal that could merge two Madison Avenue giants and fundamentally recalibrate the advertising industry as it grapples with the ongoing decline of many of its traditional practices. The two companies could announce as early as Monday that Omnicom plans to purchase Interpublic in an all-stock deal that could value the latter at between $13 billion and $14 billion without debt, according to a person familiar with the situation. Representatives for Omnicom and Interpublic did not respond to queries seeking comment. The Wall Street Journal previously reported on the pact. The pact will bolster Omnicom’s standing among a handful of large holding companies that dominate the sector, but have been struggling to develop new lines of revenue as the industry’s best-known products — glitzy TV commercials and print ads — are seen as less effective in spurring consumer purchases and response. Omnicom is known for its longstanding relationships with blue-chip marketers such as PepsiCo and Apple, and houses units such as BBDO, TBWA Worldwide and Omnicom Media Group. While it has only infrequently been seen as blazing new frontiers in digital practices, it closed a deal in January to buy Flywheel, a specialist in digital commerce. Interpublic, meanwhile, has worked to build up new competencies in digital marketing and mining the consumer data that often comes with it. Under CEO Philippe Krakowsky , Interpublic has been shedding some of its traditional agencies, such as Deutsch New York, Hill Holliday and Huge, while buying up the bulk of Acxiom Corp. in 2018 and, more recently, acquiring Intelligence Node, a specialist in retail data. The companies may not have much overlap when it comes to clients. Interpublic once served as a big home to clients such as Coca-Cola and Amazon, but many Coke accounts have migrated to the agencies of U.K. ad giant WPP, while Interpublic lost Amazon’s massive media business earlier this year to WPP and Omnicom. “There is tremendous industrial logic to two large agency groups combining,” said Brian Wieser, an industry analyst, in a research note issued Sunday. In addition to cutting back-office costs, he said, “the removal of one significant globally capable agency group would help improve competitive dynamics in the favor of all agencies when large clients seek to play agencies against each other in order to drive pricing for services down.” Both companies recently had an occasion to work together, with Interpublic, Omnicom and French rival Publicis Groupe all agreeing to acquire a small interest in the ad-tech firm Mediaocean, which helps advertisers and agencies monitor invoicing and payments for their purchases of media inventory in which they can run their commercials. Omnicom has explored mergers in the past. In 2013, Omnicom and Publicis struck a deal to merge , but the agreement unraveled months later over disputes over which management group would oversee a combined entity. Combining Omnicom and Interpublic would mark an achievement for Omnicom CEO John Wren , who has presided over the marketing-services giant for decades, and would, through the deal, create a formidable rival to WPP and Publicis. A bigger Omnicom would also gain new leverage with both the marketing giant it serves and the media outlets with which it negotiates to place ads and promotions.
